The Canadian subsidiary of Fairfield-based Acme United Corp. has acquired the assets of First Aid Central, a Canadian first aid and safety supplier, for an undisclosed amount.
Based in Laval, Canada and operating since 2007, First Aid Central produces and sells a complete line of first aid kits, refills, and safety products to a broad range of industries and end users. Its products meet federal Health Canada and provincial regulatory requirements. In 2019, the firm had revenues of approximately C$4.3 million ($3.3 million).
“We intend to use the Laval location to expand production,” Acme United Chairman and CEO Walter Johnsen said. “We believe our global customers will benefit from local production and service of our product line in Canada.”
Acme United has been in the first aid and safety business in the U.S. for over 40 years, selling under the First Aid Only, PhysiciansCare and Pac-Kit brands.
